Prado is the Toyota Prado, the Prado off-road vehicle is the latest model in the Toyota Land Cruiser series. This newly developed next-generation SUV is equipped with a newly developed Toyota six-cylinder electronic fuel injection 1GR-FEV6 engine, with a displacement of 3956cc, delivering excellent power performance. In terms of body dimensions, the Toyota Prado measures 4840mm in length, 1885mm in width, and 1890mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2790mm. In terms of appearance, the Toyota Prado adopts the Toyota family design philosophy, featuring a large front grille, with the headlight cluster connected to the grille, and the headlight cluster adopting a flat design similar to the current Land Cruiser.
I think the Toyota Prado, commonly known as 'Badao' in China, is actually a mid-size SUV belonging to the Land Cruiser family. The history of this vehicle dates back to the early 1990s, when Toyota introduced the Prado series to fill the gap in the high-end off-road market. I know it's particularly popular in China, where many people call it 'Badao' because of its rugged and imposing body, giving a strong sense of conquest when driving. The engine options typically include a 4.0-liter V6 gasoline or a 2.8-liter diesel, both offering strong torque, making it suitable for mountain roads and off-road adventures. Design-wise, it has evolved from the original boxy shape to a more modern streamlined form, improving driving comfort without losing its off-road essence. I often see adventure enthusiasts using it to traverse deserts or mountainous areas, thanks to its solid and durable chassis, and it's much simpler to maintain compared to German cars. In short, the Prado symbolizes Toyota's reliability and holds an important position in the global market, especially in Asia.
